- Flirt

STRENGTHS: He has trained in a couple of different martial arts for a very long time giving him an ability to dish out physical damage and take it as well. He has studied Earth magic and can use supporting magic on himself feeling that they suit him the best.[/color]
WEAKNESSES: His actual magic range is low having not practiced how to best beat people with it. He also does not have the knowledge of other magic clans so he wouldn't be able to tell one from another. Finally Jordan will never have a large prana stash to pull from since he is self taught only being able to max out at 120 Pr[/color]

MY FAMILY LINE: A little bit long ago in Africa(about 650 years) there was a tribe of Mystic and Shamans who communicated with the Earth and learned how to use it to their advantage. As time went on however the younger members of their tribe left and journeyed to other parts of the world hoping to make new lives outside of the confines of the village.[/color]
One person was Minkah Gbadamosi. He changed his last name to Gallagher and decided to live a peaceful life in the eastern part of America. His bloodline had decent prana capacity and his descendent's all carried the potential to use magic. Sadly as time when on his line stopped believing in magic and chalked it up to family tales. It seemed like the line's magic would be lost forever.//
MY HISTORY: That is of course, until Jordan came along. As a child he was the son of a well off businessman and a loving wife. It seemed that Jordan's life would be perfect. However in truth his father was scum, constantly indulging in whatever hedonism he could think of and leaving his family to basically pick up after him. One day when Jordan was 7 his father came home drunk and proceeded to nearly beat his wife to death after she once again complained about his drinking and coming home late.
Jordan heard the noise(having been hiding since he hated the smell of his father after her came home drunk) and saw his father about to deal the sure kill blow to his mom's head. Jordan ran down the steps and tried to fight back getting nothing but beat down for his trouble. Jordan, at the last second was able to grab a knife and fatally stab his father. The police showed up as Jordan started to reach for the knife and saw him protect himself. The cops called for medical help but sadly the doctors were unable to save his mother and he was placed in a orphanage.
He was given therapy to learn to cope but it didn't work at first and after that event Jordan became a very introverted kid. He tried to distract himself with any activity he could think of no matter if it were mental or physical, but he could never forget that day no matter how hard he tried.
Wishing that he had been stronger to help his mom he started learning martial arts starting with Huang Gar and then adding on others as he got better at managing his time so he could take them all at once. His various sensei were able to break Jordan out of his shell a little at a time and help him start having a life again. Jordan was able to at least really commit to things and started to not be held down by the past. He became a flirt and a nicer person but that one little bit of doubt and shame still rested in him.
When Jordan got into his older teens he was given the right to access the assets his father had. At first Jordan wanted to get rid of it all but he then figured it would be better to do something good with it. He chose to liquidate it and alternate between placing it in banks and using it for others hoping the banks could build it up so it could e used for more charities and the like. Jordan deciding to start working at a library still using that as a distraction and a way to avoid the "lazy rich person" label.
It was during this time where started looking through the records that his ancestors had created about their ways and discovered what had been written down about magic. Not believing it at first Jordan quickly changed his mind after he, on a lucky chance was able to use a very basic spell. He realized how dangerous it could be and the potential he had inside and started to learn it so that he could use it the proper way.
On a whim, Jordan took a trip to Italy to relax but then stumbled onto the Grail War and is now trying to figure out if he could possibly win it.(And stop monsters from running all over the place.) //[/color]
MY GOALS: Jordan figures that if he can win the war, something great would happen otherwise nobody would ever be in the war. He believes that whatever he gets from winning would help him to forgive himself for not being strong enough earlier in life. [/color]

RANK: None[/color]
ELEMENT: Earth[/color]
EXPERTISE: [/color]
Close Range Combat/Huang Gar - Jordan having been trained can protect himself from normal physical attacks. His skill have been honed from years of practice so he is no slouch at fighting back against people. Hung Ga is the one he learned first so it is the style he is best at having learned the techniques that fall underneath it.
Inner Beauty - Jordan, knowing that people can easily have one personality but act completely different has skill at seeing people for who they are if he is around them enough. It works best if he stays around the person constantly but even if they go away and then come back around him he won't up and forget the signs of another personality. He tends to use it to encourage people to be happier with who they really are.
MAGIC CIRCUITS: 30 which give him 4 each for a 120 total. [/color]
SPELLS: [/color]
Shell Crash (Earth)
Rank: E
Cost: 2 Pr
Range:10m
Effect: Breaks the earth in a small area, then lifts a small piece of earth out of the ground and launches it at the target at the speed of a fist being thrown. The time it takes to cast is about three seconds but it also can be used on more than one piece of earth at once giving it a small area effect.
“Mother Earth, seek my target and strike!”
The Horns of Sekhmet (Earth)
Rank: D
Cost: 15 Pr
Range:1m
Effect: The user stomps their foot on the ground. The sound creates a wall of earth in front of the user to rise up for protection. The wall itself will go down after three minutes by itself. The wall can deflect magic spells of D rank or lower, but higher ranks will break through it though not instantly.
“She shall be my protector. Tremble at her might.
Fear her fangs, her claws and her force!”
Tumbuku Vidokoni
Rank: D
Cost: 50 Pr
Range:User
Effect: Gives the caster enhanced physical abilities for 15 minutes. It increases Strength, Speed, Defense, and Endurance to double what they were before. After it finishes it takes another 15 minutes to recover before it can be cast again. The target shines with words that tell the stories of the Hare, the Turtle, and The Hyena.
